The Chrysler A-57 multibank was used in the Sherman M4A4. At the time tank production exceeded availible radials engines (used in early shermans) so Chrysler literally through this engine together as a stop gap to keep tank production rolling The Army was quite dissatisfied with them and gave most of the 7500 built M4A4s shermans to the British (lend/lease).
